I said that I PM you from the other thread but it is looking like this thread is the one where the count is happening.
I am a buyer if you make a Quicksilver play field.
Edit: This week's project is to PM all QS owners and QS wish listers and let them know about this thread.
Ok, looks like there is lot more demand than I expected. Please forgive me if I do not reply to all massages Individually. I try to put all replys in the thread so that everyone is on the same page.
I will get the artwork in the cue which will take probably 2 weeks preparation. As soon as the black layer is done the playfields go on one of the robots so that we might have the final product before Christmas. Worst case shortly after Christmas. Usual turnaround time is 5 weeks but as there are some other projects going on same time we need to se how it comes along.
Next playfields available are whirlwind and creature.

Mirco

Quoted from Mitch:I bought a quicksilver last week with a bad playfeild. Then started quicksilver playfeild thread and a stern club thread. Then in a mirco thread he asked what playfeilds to make and I said quicksilver...
And here we are
So, 41 days ago you open a thread about pricing on these old Sterns. Then the next item I read is that you are having a Seawitch shipped in. And you are having other classic Sterns shipped that I can't remember what they are. And then you drag a Quicksilver home. And now we are looking at the prospect of repro Quicksilver play fields being produced and to be available for purchase in less than 6 months ??? !!!!
This will be a story for the grand kids
Quoted from cottonm4:Well, used drop target assemblies and transformers will start seeing some action. No Bally cabinet will be safe.
I may have a use for the Lectronamo sitting in the corner now. Who is going to make the wiring harness' or do we hafta make our own. Decisions...

Doesnt the Lectronamo have a shorter cab.
Quoted from Mitch:Doesnt the Lectronamo have a shorter cab.
I dunno. With my luck that may be the case.
Quoted from 20eyes:I assumed they were all the same size I have no other sterns to compare to but its 50 1/2 same as Grand Slam sitting next to it. Anyone know how long Qicksilver playfields are?
If I can confirm that Quicksilver will fit this cab then I'll take one as well.

I can verify the measurements for you in a couple of hours when I get home. But I'm thinking they are all the same.
My Stern cabinets measure 51 inches long x 22" wide.
My Quicksilver play field measures 42 inches long x 20 3/8 inches wide.
My Dracula play field measures the same.
I would be surprised if your Lectronamo was any different.
Quoted from cottonm4:How in the hell did this chain of events come to be with about 30 posts in a time period spanning less than 24 hours?
I pestered 
Mirco in two separate threads to make Quicksilver playfields and explained why this is the first classic Stern that he should make

Craig knowing you your Quicksilver will be fully restored with a restored cabinet, new backglass, Mirco playfield and fully working before you get your old playfield back from the restorer.

John, I appreciate your confidence in my abilities. 
I really do. But there are times I feel like I have stepped off into the deep end

John you also need to find someone stupid enough to drive a playfield back and forth from NY to MD because they didn't want to depopulate the underside, then only to eventually do it to take one for the Pinside team. I'll start taking apart the underside tomorrow.

So, Crispin, you are our blood donor. Thank you.
Quoted from cottonm4:So, Crispin, you are our blood donor. Thank you.
You're so welcome. I've been saved by Pinsiders countless times over the years and I'm just glad I can help.

The jig for the back boxes and lower cabs is already in use making them for Star Gazers. I can make up the play field jig in about two days after getting my hands on a play field.

Quoted from bluespin:cottonm4 Can you ask your contact that makes Star Gazer, or will be making them, if he can also make Quicksilver playfield harnesses? Thanks
Already happening. Enter Shawn at Third Coast Pinball.

Well, Shawn, I am heading to Dallas on Tuesday to deliver my Quicksilver play field to the restore guy. But nothing will be happening in his shop for awhile. I have a suitable shipping box and could ship QS play field to you from out of Ft. Worth.
It is stripped clean of wiring. I didn't take any pics before I pulled the wiring but I have it well labeled and can lay it out in proper position and shoot some pics, and give you some measurements if you need.
It's up to you but there is plenty of time. I should be able to come across a donor between now and then. Doing it from pictures and measurements isn't really optimal but I appreciate the offer. If anyone has a junked out play field not worthy of redemption let me know and we can work out a deal. I just need a bare field. Wiring and machinery not required.

Quoted from Crispin:You're so welcome. I've been saved by Pinsiders countless times over the years and I'm just glad I can help.
Crispin Thank you for helping out the community! I’ll buy you a meal at Pinfest next spring at the Farmer’s Market. All the barbecue chicken you can eat!
Quoted from Mk1Mod0:I should be able to come across a donor between now and then.
Let me know if you need me to ship it.
Quoted from Highclasspinball:Miracles still happen
Barracora would be a miracle
Congrats to you Quicksilver owners!
Quoted from yfz450:Barracora would be a miracle
No kidding! I have to believe there is enough demand for Barracora to justify a run. I'd even buy 2, if I had to.
Mirco doesn't make playfield plastics, does he? I have one cracked QS plastic. Down for a PF though!
Quoted from brenna98:i'm interested. Might even buy 2.
Can you make Nine Ball too???
You are such a tease
